[Toxichobbit]

And so it begins.

 

Good luck Ariz :)

[KJB]

My god... Good luck, that is one hell of a vow!!

[Saul Invictus]

That's an insane vow, best of luck!

[Firepower]

Wow...wow.

 

Good luck with that! I couldn't even afford to buy all that plastic, much less find the time to paint it.

[Aqui]

Wow...wow.

 

Good luck with that! I couldn't even afford to buy all that plastic, much less find the time to paint it.

 

Same here! :blink:  In fact, I think all of my Loyalist stuff put together doesn't amount to that points cost! :lol:

 

Good luck with it! ^_^

[Malatox]

You sure you're cool with Salamanders...? Because, with that level of insanity, you'd fit right in with Chaos! :P
Nice vow, man... and good-luck!

[Brother Argent]

And so the Champion of the Codex forums rises again. Nice.  Dont burn yourself out though, arizonajirt.  Still, you pulled it off last year, here's hoping you can pull it off again...

[deathspectersgt7]

Good luck on your vow.

[Brother Cambrius]

By the Immortal Emperor that is a huge vow! Best of luck to you arizonajirt! I will be watching and supporting this mighty endeavour of yours! :)

 

Cambrius

[War Angel]

And yet, all it will take is to miss a single model and it will all be for naught.... Stories of you're bravery will out live you.

 

Are you sure you want to dedicate that much plastic gold to salamanders??

[Adeptus-Alaska]

I'm still in awe of this! the four armies salute you! and we admit it, your either that crazy kinda awesome or that awesome kinda crazy. either way, you scare me, and that's not a bad thing.

 

the four armies are watching,

So I've finally gotten a chance to start on my vow. So far I've killed a pot of unfortunate flesh and 3 pots of snot green in this and I'm not even into more than 16 troops. Here are the before pics and some WIP ones.

I've had to order more snot green/warp stone glow because my shop ran out. So ill keep going until I run out of paint.

[arizonajirt]

You all can thank yak for this. I was going to dedicate myself to the blood god and put up my 6,000 points of chaos. But he let me see the error of my ways and led me back to the emperors light.

[arizonajirt]

Forgot these WIP pics.

[elohimalpha]

Salamanders for the Salamander God! Looking great so far. Good luck!

[Adeptus-Alaska]

^{wait, you brushed all that? wow, you are good!}

[War Angel]

Ditto. I can't belive that was done with brush. It's going to be awesome to watch this mammoth of a challenge get completed.

[Hiroitchi]

Best wishes man...

It was all done with a brush. I attempted a method I found online but it turned out like crap so I ended up applying everything with a brush. So a base coat of this sandy yellow color, can't remember the name off the top of my head, followed by 2 coats of snot green/warp stone glow and then a heavy wash of bial tan green.

 

I'm currently working on all of the vehicles, the heavy weapons marines and the dread. The heavy weapons guys are almost done. Just need to do the final details and a final wash and they are done. I finished the dread yesterday.

 

And as for the bases, since I know this will eventually be asked. I'm going to design and cast up all of the bases for them. Since it will be part of my upcoming business, it helps to design the bases now. I have work the next 4 nights so the next day ill get to work on my models will be Monday afternoon. So it will be on again then.

How I'd you do it with a brush? I think in using the wrong brush

[Adeptus-Alaska]

How I'd you do it with a brush? I think in using the wrong brush

I know, right!

[arizonajirt]

i just use an old large (about 1/2-3/4 inch wide) shoft bristle brush. if the bristles are bent, dont care. its my base coat brush. when i do the top coat, i use a much smaller brush (1/8-1/4 inch wide). it works good for me. but I do most of my painting with a 10/0 or a 20/0 brush.
